In this episode of the Relevant Recruiter Show, Nick and I dive deep on how sources, recruiters and hiring managers share interview intelligence for better decisions, faster. We also talk about interview collaboration and how remote recruiters and hiring managers require new tools and data-driven interview communication. 

Here is a little bit more about Nick. 

After 15 years leading recruiting teams in NYC and San Francisco at MTV, Viacom, TubeMogul (Adobe), Nick was tired of scheduling calls, scribbling notes and typing old-fashioned candidate write-ups.

Scribbled notes and opinions are no longer sufficient for remote sources, recruiters and hiring teams to assess talent together. The interview process has always been full of misinterpretation, miscommunication, and bias, due to the lack of interview data and transparency into interview conversations.

The Honeit interview platform combines conversation intelligence and voice-first technology to turn everyday client kick-off calls and candidate phone screens into real-time talent intelligence.

In this episode:

• How Nick got into the recruiting industry
• How did Nick get into the Honeit software
• Feedback from clients using the software
• How can external agencies use the tool during the crisis to make a more transparent hiring process
• Nick shows the software, sample, and features
• Pricing of the software
• What Nick is excited about
• During the current crisis situation - How long is it going to take for the recruiting industry to bounce back
• Piece of advice from Nick

James and I were originally going to talk, ad nauseam, about content in the recruiting world. 

But with the coronavirus dominating every aspect of professional life right now, we thought it'd be a more interesting conversation to discuss pivots: what we're changing in our approaches, what we're seeing that seems to work, and how we're carrying on 'business as usual' in a world that is highly unusual.

James Hornick is a Partner at Hirewell, a Chicago based recruiting firm with a variety of specialty areas (tech, HR, marketing, sales, finance & accounting).

In 2015, after more than a decade of technology recruiting, James started Hirewell's Digital Experience & Marketing division.

After talking to marketers on a daily basis for several years, he was inspired to take on a new challenge: building out Hirewell's own digital and content marketing.

He currently hosts the Hirewell Recruiting Insights podcast and takes a very team-focused, video-centric approach to Hirewell's marketing initiatives.

In this episode:

• How James got into the industry
• Impacts of coronavirus in the company and what James see in the market from his angle
